Our goal is to support seniors who live in homes and are over 60 years old. Most of them struggle with health situations and are alone and do not receive visits. The project that we are asking you to support are the activities that we provide on regular basis. We aim to increase the capatity to share with others their own age and learn from each other. We have aleady seen very positive results. That is why we want to give others this opportunity and you can help.
Transiciones de Vida has developed a project to support the needs of Puerto Rico's Golden Age lonely population. The situation of adults without the company of relatives is a major problem, especially now with the Corona-virus situation. Our objectives are: to provide weekly visits to those who do not receive visits from family or friends. We offer personal development workshops, weekly visits, Music Therapy, Movie afternoon, jewelry courses, photography, tablets with their favorite music.
One of the programs that has truly helped our participants is Music Therapy. We work with participants that need special support. Music therapy has many benefits among them are: increases the learning capacity, improves orientation and it also helps on a physical and emotional level. We have already seen very positive results. The therapy sessions are provided by music therapist. That is why we are seeking donation to provide this therapy to many more participants (now by zoom)
The long term impact is the best part of this therapy. The change that we see in just a few session are that the participants looks and sounds more relax. Their anxiety, stress level and depression have reduced. Their family members say that this has been a blessing for the participants
